MCV has run an interesting feature which provides an in-depth look at the state of the first-person shooter genre, and mining the depths of the article, one can find what Twycross-based developer Rare has in store for the future.

"It's still a booming business," Rare studio head Mark Betteridge said, adding "you only have to look at the success of the Halo series to see that. And we're obviously very happy about the excitement over Perfect Dark coming back to Xbox Live Arcade."

"Right now our sights are trained on Natal, which is a great opportunity to break new ground with content and gameplay. It's also an opportunity to exercise some genre evolution, so hopefully we'll be able to develop something on that front."

On the bright side, at least this means that Kameo 2's demise hasn't seen the studio's focus shift entirely to expanded-audience entertainment.

But here's a question for you: would you rather see a Perfect Dark game for Project Natal, a new franchise, or do you simply think it's a horrible idea with no possible way that it could work well. Tell us in the comments below, and no, saying "Goldeneye" doesn't count. You'll get Tums instead of a cookie if you say that.
